This Girls show is a steaming pile—I sat thru a couple eps recently—is… well-written, solid direction, the actors buy in 100%…. and it’s the most insuferable navel-gazing pile of white people’s crap on TV. It’s just that these people are all white, it’s that they’ve all got their heads so far up their asses in every scene that…

put it like this: Larry David no doubt screwed low-hanging fruit like this when he was in his 20s (and 30s), only because they thought Jewish cock was “exotic”.

Which brings me to Donald Glover:

He’ll fit right in on this show. He’s their Wayne Brady. And given that Dunham is in with Seth Rogen and that whole crowd, this will be a good career boost for Glover.

Don’t be surprised if he flips this into “i’m the Black guy that’s not black enough” show for HBO in 2013.

as for 40 something rappers? totally untapped category. And soon as hiphop decides it’s ok to be over 25 and not still cater to 15yros, they’ll realize that theres a whole culture of 28-45yro hiphoppers out here that are completly ignored… and a 40yro rapper won’t be a failure anymore than a 40yr rock guitarist is.

I’m not sold on Chrome… it’s nerdier than I need. I just wanna search is… period.

College Loans are absurd… it’s the only debt you can’t get out of, not ever. If you went into hiding and killed your children, no matter because your children’s children will still be on the hook for your old NYU loans.

Agree on the 40 somethings. In part because being in my early 30s there are just times when I want to hear a peer or elder speak on topics. Nothing at all against the emcee aged 18-28. I listen to plenty of that as well, but in so many ways I need to hear voices from my generation. That is one of the reasons that R.A.P. Music has been listened to everyday since it dropped. That project is damn near perfect to me. I passed it to a 19-year-old and told him to listen. I told my 60+ pops that it was worth his time. All 3 of us gave it the, “yes, this is it right here” nod.

Have you ever tried watching it as a satire? Or that she’s kind of skewering that whole demographic?
